Description radick 2007-01-16 16:07:09 UTC 
I am considering to switch from Eclipse to NetBeans but I I find debugging very
inconvenient in NetBeans. Are you considering possibility to add such features as: 
*evaluate expression - when you select some expression/member invoke this action
and receive in tooltip/dialog value of selected statement
*execute expression - the ability to execute some extra code/statement during
debugging
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2008-10-16 16:42:23 UTC 
This was already implemented in NetBeans 6.1.
Tooltips are displayed when you select something in Editor and move the mouse over that.
In Debug menu (Run menu in NetBeans 6.1) there is "Evaluate Expression" action.

Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
